Hey Guys,

I was wondering whether you could help me with my profile evaluation. I would like to pursue Master in Finance or Banking and Finance at Cass Businesss School and perhaps several other universities. I have also ESSEC on my mind. I would rank these two schools as a top of my priorities.

Nationality: Czech
Age: 24
Undergraduate degree: Bachelor in Business administration from University of Economics in Prague.
Working experience: 5 months in small Czech company in M&A department and 2 months ago just started working in financial services audit for at one of the Big 4 companies.
IELTS band 7
GMAT 620 (Q42, V33) I always used to get around 47-49 in quant in my mock exams. I think what is achievable would be score around 660-680. I didn't really study 3 weeks before the exam since I study Master degree here in Prague simultaneously.
I could perhaps also mention my tennis experience and join the University team is possible. Not sure if this counts or to even mention this. Before my relevant finance experience I used to work as a coach in two tennis academies.
I have been considering for quite a while to start preparation for CFA level 1 and I'm not sure whether try to enhance my GMAT score or to focus on this new exam which would definitely enhance my application.

I'd be pleased by your comments what to improve or what shall I focus on. Cass applications are opening in the beginning of November and their staff does recommend to submit applications as soon as possible. So I may basically submit the application once it opens.

Thank you for your comments!

Hi roznovsky, if you are targeting Cass and other major UK Schools (imperial,Warwick,UCL) - you will be happy to know that they do not require a mandatory GMAT Score. So if you are targeting a November/December application for Cass, you need not worry about GMAT - Focus on creating a strong application. You should definitely highlight the sports factor - will add an element of holisticity in your profile. For ESSEC, yes the GMAT score is needed and 620 might be a bit on the lower end for the same. However, you have relevant finance experience so if you are a bit strategic about your application as well as your school choices ( You have mentioned that you have several universities in mind, but I am not sure if you have decided), you should at a fair shot at some competitive MFin Schools. I am creating a special program to mentor MFin applicants for early rounds, you can book a free call with me for the same if you are interested. We can discuss the possible schools that you can target, and how I can help you create a strong application.
